Fucik-arr.; with calliope; Merle Evans, Director.

Digitized from a shellac record, at 78 revolutions per minute. Four stylii were used to transfer this record. They are 3.8 mil truncated conical, 2.3 mil truncated conical, 2.8 mil truncated conical, 3.3 mil truncated conical. These were recorded flat and then also equalized with Turnover: 500Hz, Rolloff: 5000Hz.

The preferred version suggested by an audio engineer at George Blood, L.P. is the equalized version recorded with the 3.3 mil truncated conical stylus, and has been copied to have the more friendly filename.

Matrix number: 22438B
Catalog number: 22438-B

Notes

Subject: Restored version

Restored to enhance using iZotope RX7 v7.01 and Fabfilter Pro Q2 M/S EQ.

Reviewer: Steve - an old tuba player - - April 27, 2018
Subject: Sides A and B are mixed up.

The label shown for this side is actually for the audio track from the reverse side of the record. This is the circus medley with music by Russell Alexander, not Fucik's Entry of the Gladiators.

Subject: Entry of the Clowns!

This song is a version of the famous Julius Fucik military march, arranged by Louis-Philippe Laurendeau into a Circus March in order to drum up excitement in the audience. This is the later style and purpose, though perhaps not the version, we all have come to associate with the original piece. Here we have the Barnum & Bailey's Circus Band recording arrangement for their brand purpose, with the accompaniment of a calliope. Classic.
